Problem

Scenario

You’ve identified a security measure that would materially reduce risk on an engineering initiative, but the delivery team is hesitant because they believe it will slow development and create operational overhead. You need to get alignment across partners who care about speed, reliability, and compliance, while keeping the work moving.

Question

Describe a time when you had to persuade a team to adopt a security measure. How did you assess the risk, handle the trade-offs, and bring stakeholders to agreement?
